White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes

[Wesley Akwuobi]

Submitted by Nikolai: 

First of all, the song is already choral-like, so I think it would be extremely adaptable to a cappella. With this in mind, I think a more choral piece with a contemporary feel would be an interesting addition to our set. We seem to have a lot of faster moving, high vocal pieces and this song can feel like we're slowing things down and really pushing out these awesome meshing harmonies while still having an upbeat feeling to it. I think as long as the arrangement itself uses enough creative license, it would turn out appealing to audiences who like a change of pace.

This song is partly obscure, but I don't think it's completely unknown. I think this would be a more eclectic piece that people would listen to more intently because of its differences.
